Johanne McCarthy, a 62-year-old African American male, was reported missing from Jackson, Mississippi, after he left his home on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2024, intending to cash a check and never returned. He is described as six feet tall, about 180 pounds, bald with brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a gray hoodie and white pants. His family did not hear from him after he left.

On January 8, 2025, McCarthy was seen by his supervisor in the Save-A-Lot parking lot on Bailey Avenue in Jackson talking with an unidentified woman. He has a diagnosis of depressive psychosis, which may impair his judgment and prompted concern for his safety; a Silver Alert was issued on January 21, 2025. Authorities ask anyone with information to contact the Jackson Police Department or the Special Victims Unit at (601) 960-1936 or (601) 720-7588.

If anyone saw McCarthy between December 31, 2024, and January 8, 2025, especially near Bailey Avenue, did you notice him or the woman he spoke with?
